"Crew Stadium has always been an excellent venue for U.S. Soccer," said U.S. Manager Bruce Arena. "We've had a lot of success there, and we're happy to be returning for another meaningful match. Every World Cup qualifier is important, particularly at home, and we look forward to the tremendous support we always receive from the fans in Columbus."

The Columbus Crew Stadium match will be the fifth World Cup qualifier hosted by the six-year-old venue, where the U.S. MNT has a 2-0-2 record in qualifying and a 3-0-3 all-time record. In 2004, the U.S. defeated Grenada on June 13 by a 3-0 score in a second round qualifying match before tying Jamaica 1-1 in the final match of the semifinal round on November 17.

The U.S., along with Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama and Trinidad & Tobago, is competing in the 10-game round-robin format tournament through Oct. 12, 2005, with the top three teams automatically advancing to the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany. The fourth-place finisher will face the fifth-place team from the Asian Football Confederation in a home-and-home series to determine the last entrant into the tournament.
